It's time again for the municipality to fill up with tourists, not of the conventioneer and Alcatraz sweatshirt-buying kind, but of the latex bodysuit and leather chaps-wearing kind and it's the annual time of year for a enormous swath of the city's gay community to dust off their harnesses and pretend to be leather queens for a day.
With that in mind, and given that the heterosexual kink community is privy to a world of underground parties that I am not, I bring you a brief guide to the goings-on for these steep holidays for the gay segment of Folsom Street Impartial fans.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
Bondage a Go-Go: I know I said this would be a mostly gay guide, but here's a party for a mixed crowd of kinksters that's happening at the Cat Club, skillfully ahead of the big events of the weekend. Assume burlesque performances by Kitty KaPowww, Barbie Bloodgloss, and Risky Ginger. And apparently they'll be giving out "kinkster discounts" on drinks in the back room, whenever announced, providing you serve up your ass to be

Quick update: After being laid off before Folsom and finding a job I was laid off again before Thanksgiving Verb you for everyone that referred me to their companies, recruiters, and colleagues.

On Sunday, LGBT folk — though primarily gay men in the leather community — will obtain over the two blocks of Folsom Street on either side of Dore Street, as good as the alley itself, for an afternoon of drinking, dancing, and open-air sexual deviance. Folsom Street Events bills the fair as &#;Folsom Street Fair&#;s dirty little brother,&#; and indeed in recent years it has tended to be a bit more sexually explicit and less tourist-friendly than the much larger Folsom Street Fair in September. &#;Up Your Alley® is only for real players – and not for the faint of heart – where leather daddies dictate the streets of San Francisco’s South of Market district,&#; the website reads.
